# Ray Ventura (actor)

Ray Ventura (January 3, 1944 – October 24, 2001) was a Filipino character actor.
He died on October 24, 2001 following a surgery at University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center. But three days after operation, his condition worsened and his skin became yellowish and returned to confinement. Due to high cost of treatments, some of his former colleagues volunteered for the payment, and notable of them was Edu Manzano.
